As a bass player and who has seen TOP live a couple of dozen times - these girls kick ass. The bass player is extremely talented. Hard to argue - so much talent here.. very impressive....
@@UnhingedReactions Let's get real. At this point in time, if you had the chance to see Larry Graham live (at his current age), or Juna Serita, whom would you rather see?
@@UnhingedReactions I completely understand wanting to hear Larry Graham, but I used the word "see" -- as in, visual. Have you seen Larry lately? Would your eyes prefer his weathered rictus over the lovely visage of Juna?
Domo arigato, Lady Tower of Power fan tribute players, most supreme excellent cover of U.S. soul-funk classic! And those musical nods to their homeland were a nice bonus! Especially impressed by the bassist and keyboardist!
I just discovered this band a few days ago and I have seen Tower of Power live about 3 times, and yes I was blown away with these 4 musicians. As you can see by my name I enjoy the bass and Juna is a talented bassist. I know you all are up in Canada and I had a chance a few years ago to see Katisse at the Baked Potato here in L.A. you will be surprised with his music as these are all accomplished musicians in this video. th-cam.com/video/4M-duAEE_n4/w-d-xo.html. I'd like your reaction to this band. Thank you.
Juna Serita. She's amazing. Last I heard, she left Tokyo Groove Jyoshi to go solo with her music, and they got a new bassist to replace her. They even played a gig with both bassists as a sort of "hand off" to the new girl (I forget her name, unfortunately...she's also amazing).
I saw this banc a month ago . I love it so much I watch all their stuff alot!!!!! Had to see how other people react to it to see if they love it as much as I do. I want them to do more and more.
Nice t t t t t t tempo, love it. I think it would be nice if the Japanese instrument had a little bit of sustain or echo or something to help it blend in a bit more.
They play another version of this song without the Japanese guitar...but instead...a Sax. To me...the Sax version pops more. Just saying. More in line with the original. Wonder how it would work if the band played the Japanese guitar AND the Sax together??? Still HIP. This band reminds me of Jazz fusion.
These ladies are great. I listen all the time.
I found this band years ago and I love that bassist you can feel the groove of her soul
Same here, Juna is absolute fire.
Killer Bassist! The Funk is their groove.
She is amazing. She has other videos on TH-cam and she's pretty badass!

We agree! The bassist is named Juna Serita and she has many videos of her own on TH-cam. We'll be reacting to one of her songs soon.

Duh, Juna of course!
@@TheZipeedoo This is Doug, the voice of reason. Duh, Larry Graham of course. The man made slap bass playing what it is.

This is actually a cover of a cover. Jyoshi is playing Marcus Miller's version of What Is Hip. th-cam.com/video/zaHKL3uOkLc/w-d-xo.html
I love their swagger. Awesome
Hypnotic, actually.
I'm so glad I stepped on this landmine
If they could see the looks on their faces right now, they are astonished and astounded
The guy on the left needs more coffee this band rocks
Sorry, coffee gives me gas. 🤘

Welcome aboard
These woman kicked ass love it ... Juna tears the ass out of the Bass ....
That song put me in a trance !
Where can we buy their music ??
I'm sure you'll find it, just ask dr. Google.🤘
Haha I had to come back here again. You guys are cool. Would like to pour you a beer or eight. Cheers
They are excellent but the bass player is killer! Wow!
Yes she is! Look up her other stuff on TH-cam!
The bass babe! Hot! Hot! Hot! Juna Serento...? The whole band kicks!
Juna Serita. She's amazing. Last I heard, she left Tokyo Groove Jyoshi to go solo with her music, and they got a new bassist to replace her. They even played a gig with both bassists as a sort of "hand off" to the new girl (I forget her name, unfortunately...she's also amazing).

They are amazing! The bassist, Juna Serita, left the band since this video and they now have a new bassist. All extremely talented!
Thanks guys. Just look at their other stuff too. They're wonderful
Shamisen sounds a lot like a banjo.
Dig it
This jawn is Epic
It's very impressive, and those licks - holy cow... But, as a hornline guy in me really misses the sound of brass and saxophone having tight sounds
Open up bro. Look at their other stuff. They have a brilliant tenor sax player too.
Love Tower of Power, and I think this is an excellent cover.
The first time I heard this I freaked.
Bro was trying to be stone face throughout, but in middle of Juna's solo, he broke and got into it (for a few seconds at least).
I try to cover them, it’s sooooo difficult! Amazing players!
There are a few versions of this.
Great bass player. I miss the brass section. I'm a huge TOP FAN
You have no idea what is hitting you. I freaked out too.
The Girls got Groove.
This is fuck8ng nails. I'm not easily impressed and this is unreal
Page Plant No Quarter did it well, as well, banjos are playin'. - Ladies first, of course... 🤷♂️ bass player's definitely hockin' that bass...
Down with K pop UP WITH J GROOVE
Great band. Those chicks can groove. June the bassist is amazing !!
More from TGJ please. Maybe Funk No 1 with Harumo Imai on sax.
Groovin Man. Smokin only the best weed. Lookin for a guru to find you a new you. Maybe to raise your conscious level. This is hip that is for sure.
Nice t t t t t t tempo, love it. I think it would be nice if the Japanese instrument had a little bit of sustain or echo or something to help it blend in a bit more.
It's the Asian equivalent of a banjo; not a lot of sustain to be extracted from it.....
Just look at their other stuff.

Wonder how it would work if the band played the Japanese guitar AND the Sax together??? Still HIP. This band reminds me of Jazz fusion.
Has anyone found this on iTunes or somewhere else or is it just on youtube?
No idea, I haven't looked.
How you like them apples fellas 🤔this is no shit wailing
J-Funk at its best!
Quì bisogna comporre...è facile su un tema dato...
